St Patrick’s Day Treat – An Intergenerational Community Event Led by S3 Pupils – 17 March 2017
Dear Parents and Carers,
Since 1980, Notre Dame High School have been inviting approx. 150 senior citizens to a community event at this time of year, it is called The St. Patrick’s Day Treat.
It is a truly pupil led event with our S3 pupils getting involved in a number of ways:
Respect for our local area
Mrs Dunn and a group of our S2 pupils braved the elements to work within our local community last week. The girls worked together in the spirit of service to others to tidy local streets near the school. We continue to work with local residents associations to try to secure additional disposal facilities on the route from Byres Road. Pupils will continue to be present in the local community. Please say hello if you see our girls out and about on their next patrol.
